BC doesn't start anymore
« on: June 15, 2007, 05:51:21 PM »
Hi everybody,

i have a problem with my BC Game and I hope you're able to help me:

I have modded much today, installed 3 bridges worked and added also some maps which all worked until my game crashed. Now when I start BC, a little white square appears on my desktop and i can see BC in the task line but the game doesn't start. Do you have any help you can give me? I don't want to reinstall but to get my game working.

Thank you for all help you can give to me!

Try deleting your options.cfg. You will have to set all your settings again when you start up.

I admit, I haven't heard of such an error before, but it may just help to do the above in this type of case.
I still can't read peoples minds, nor can I read peoples computers, even worse, I can't combine the two to read what is going wrong with your BC install...

Did you install anything else (doesn't have to be BC related) before the crash?

Also, when did the crash happen?

No, i don't remember anything installed after the crash, it was nearly 3 hours ago and everything worked until the game went back to windows and disappeared from the task line
when i now start BC i can find the stbc process in the task manager

After a complete reinstallation BC itself works perfectly but no bridge or mod even the 1.1 patch isn't working and a reinstallation after that doesn't help me anyway so if anyone has had this problem before: help me please

what, so you reinstalled BC and now you can't get it to install 1.1 patch and whatnot? am i understanding this correctly because if that is the case then i think your OS is having a problem with BC, what OS are you running?, XP, Vista.... Linux.......

Well, I reinstalled BC completely and deleted all patches and mods i had installed and started the fresh BC but it always stops at the loading screen and nothing happens since then. I'm using XP and some days before i had some mods installed and BC worked perfectly. Thaks for any help.
